• As You Like, Kunming

I dined here last night with my Chinese co-diner. I'd really like to rave about the place. In reality I've some serious concerns:- a) At least some of the cheese used is non vegetarian. Namely that cultural legislation doesn't permit the manufacture of lacto parmesan or lacto gorgonzola unless rennet is used. Both these cheeses are used in As You Like. This doesn't give a high level of confidence that management are aware of the concept of slaughtered animal rennet being used in cheese making. Whether the other lacto cheese used is vegetarian seems unlikely. It defo isn't vegan according to the server. Explanation here on rennet and non vegetarian cheese:- https://hkveg.wordpress.com/2016/03/19/cheese-10-qas b) Similar to the cheese it seems management are unaware of slaughtered animal products used in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages. We had a look on barnivore at one of the wines the use, Estancia. This is what the less than inspiring info is there:- http://www.barnivore.com/products/3942-estancia-wine Explanation here on non vegetarian booze https://hkveg.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/is-your-booze-vego I will email this info to management to endeavour to constructive help them move away from these pitfalls. If they do tackle these concerns I'll update the info here accordingly. The above concerns are regrettable. This establishment has a nice vibe.
